I've seen a lot of late-stages-of-pregnancy broodmares over the years. Big ones, small ones, and every size in between. But Lisa's broodmare North Star Rebecca is far and away the biggest pregnant broodmare I've ever seen! She looks like a cartoon character. I was laughing so hard when I saw her, I went up to her and rubbed her face and apologized.

| You're probably thinking, this isn't so bad |

| Then you see her from this angl 😳 |
Nick said the previous photo looked like someone took a picture of a hippo and photoshopped a horse head and neck onto it 😂
 |
| I'm just sayin'...there's a resemblance here |
In all honesty, this is a VERY nice mare with the absolute biggest eyes I've ever seen on a horse. And that just adds to my feeling that she looks like a cartoon character come to life.

| Her belly cannot be more than 18" from the ground right now, if that |
Her due date was yesterday, let's hope she releases this prisoner soon, for her sake if nothing else!
Update: While I was sleeping and after this post was drafted, Rebecca foaled a big beautiful baby girl! I think she's going to be named Castleberrys Rey, after Rey Skywalker, since she was born on the holiday. May the fourth be with you!

LORD! Rebecca was huge! Poor girl! Hopefully she had an easy delivery. Hard to tell, but I trust you when you say it is a "big" filly. I do love foaling season!! Cannot wait to see them all frolicking together.
She probably looks normal sized if you're used to horse babies but she's pretty big for a pony baby!
WOWZA. That is a big momma.
😂 OH LAWD... you have me crying! Poor mama!
Omggggg. She thicc!! I bet she is SO much more comfortable now, poor girl.
I wanted to take her home with us. She is like a red Rosemary. That filly is huge! We got to meet her first colt. Such a good mama.
OMG I audibly went "WHOA" out loud when I got to that photo. She must be much more comfortable with that baby out!
I love all her foals! This one is gorgeous <3
OMG. If she waited much longer, that belly would have definitely touched the ground!
What a big baby!
No kidding!
Hahaha, sorry not sorry? I was laughing so hard too.
Definitely, she's much smaller now that baby is out!
She is a great mama and a wonderful mare.
Definitely!
She really is. Not that she's not sporty, but I can totally see her ending up in a Welsh home cleaning up in the in-hand classes, she just looks like something that they would pin well.
Haha, nooooo joke! We really should have measured.
